Pies, Real and Imagined

I am including a sneak peek of my Pumpkin Farm barn, a blog post-to-come featuring Julie Sefton's Build-A-Barn book and my own version. As a charter member of the SSOBB, I will be posting about this fantastic book and the liberating creative process on Monday, July 25, as well as offering a book giveway; you can (and should!) build yourself a barn!  Stay tuned for my barn building adventure and your chance to win; details are available through the sidebar links. Speaking of pies- I have just finished making the second Corn,Tomato and Cheddar pie of the summer. This pie is so delicious (and smells absolutely incredible while baking) that I couldn't resist putting together another one almost right away! The photo, below, is directly from the website, (click for instructions) I can't recommend this recipe highly enough. So, today, whether you're baking real pies or dreaming about pies-to-come, whether you're slicing actual fruit or machine appliqueing ingredients to a background, enjoy something homemade today.


Happy 4th of July!
Life is Good!

Is that your barn block? It looks very fun!
I have enjoyed seeing the barn block finishes from the secret society on blogs here and there.
Making berry crisp for our cookout dessert tonight, with homemade ice cream. Haven't found a gluten free pie crust recipe that pleases me yet. Baked beans are in the oven and potato salad is next on my "to do"list. Plenty of "homemade" here. : )

That pie looks great and I can't wait to try it! I planted ten tomato plants this year for some crazy reason, so I'll be looking for a way to use them. Love your barn quilt, too!

Looks like the perfect entrée for our "Meatless Monday" summer dinner. Thanks for sharing!! Linda

Your pie sounds wonderful. We have a recipe for tomato-basil pie that we absolutely love. Need to wait another few weeks for fresh tomatoes though. Looking forward to seeing your entire barn! I just won one of Julie's books and am starting to gather fabrics for a quilt with our own barn.
